Catholic Chicago -- Catholics On Campus/Safeguarding Children

Catholic Chicago

Hosts:  Fr. Greg Sakowicz and Mark Teresi.  Segment I:  Amanda Thompson, Director of Catholic Campus Ministry at DePaul University, talks about Catholics on campus.  Segment II:  Fr. Hans Zollner and Mr. Juan Carlos Cruz talk about safeguarding children in the church.  Fr. Zollner is one of the world's leading experts in the area of safeguarding minors.  He is the President of the Centre for Child Protection at the Pontifical Gregorian Institute in Rome, a member of the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors, and a consultor to the Vatican's Congregation for Clergy.  Juan Carlos Cruz is an advocate for victim-survivors and a survivor himself.  He influenced the Pope to set the stage for the global Church to move away from thinking that survivors want to destroy the Church, but instead, to partner with victims as they move forward with their lives as Catholics.
